For domestic export enterprises, cross-border e-commerce, and foreign trade e-commerce, shipping to foreign countries will inevitably choose international logistics, because only through international logistics transportation can logistics costs be greatly reduced. In addition, other logistics services, value-added services, professional capabilities, after-sales services, etc. of international logistics can also be utilized to provide customers with a good logistics delivery experience.
However, due to the late start and rapid development of China's international logistics industry, as well as the lack of unified industry standards and service norms, its service quality varies. Although everyone has a wider range of choices and faces more logistics solutions, if one accidentally cooperates with an unprofessional and unreliable international logistics, it will bring a heavy blow to the operation of the store!
From the internet, you can see many examples of being trapped by poor international logistics. The ones that have a smaller impact include adding fees midway, increasing hidden fees, high operational loss rates, low delivery efficiency, poor logistics service attitude, and the ones that have a larger impact include changing logistics channels midway, trapping goods, and exporting illegally. This non-standard business behavior has a significant impact on export enterprises, even leading to bankruptcy in some cases.
Logistics is an essential part of e-commerce, and the choice of international logistics is its core. In various aspects of e-commerce, logistics is an indispensable and irreplaceable part, which affects logistics costs, product pricing, product transactions, capital turnover, and other aspects. Therefore, with logistics, e-commerce exists. Moreover, in the field of cross-border e-commerce, the choice of international logistics is crucial in controlling the logistics process.
Choose professional and reliable international logistics conditions:
Although scale is not a mandatory indicator, if an international logistics scale is small and service capabilities are insufficient, it naturally cannot be considered professional and trustworthy. So, when choosing a freight forwarder, try to avoid small businesses as much as possible.
2. Rich logistics resources are the foundation of professionalism and reliability. Imagine that no type of logistics resource is perfect. How can we provide professional and reliable logistics services?
3. Perfect facilities and equipment are also a professional and reliable foundation, and only perfect facilities and equipment can provide complete, efficient, and professional logistics services.
4. A professional service team is the living card of an enterprise. Whether the service attitude is good, whether the service level is high or not, and whether the business knowledge is solid or not are all important.
It is essential to understand the reputation of enterprises through the internet, which can help us avoid pitfalls.
6. After all, understanding enterprises online is far away, and on-site inspections are intuitive, allowing for a more realistic understanding of the strength, service quality, and scale of the enterprise.
Of course, there is no foolproof way to ensure that the enterprise is professional, reliable, and worth trying. Therefore, for the sake of safety, everyone can try to ship the goods first before cooperation, ensuring smooth delivery, good service, and satisfactory delivery. Then, further cooperation can be carried out to reduce the risks caused by accidentally choosing international logistics.
